Suppose in studying Climate Change we discover that in one country, deserts are going to be created where formerly there was grasslands and an abundance of water and in another place the coastlines are going to be altered. If you are an American, how do you think a politician is going to respond to such a problem.
Will his/her response be well thought out based on scientific preparedness, or will he (or she) grab onto the first solution suggestion to him/her and try and implement that?
Whatever he/she does, it will cost and everyone will be affected. A starting place is to find out what presidents in the past have done. During the Bush administration (the second Bush), there was an oil crisis. He responded by allocating more acreage to the growing of corn so supplementing oil production. Replaceable resources for non renewable ones. Sounded like a very good solution, but was it? As it turned out, no. He was robbing Peter to pay Paul. Thousands of people suffered (and died) with that decision because food is much more important than solving transportation problems at the expense of food.
The same is true here. If a solution is sought for global warming, politicians have to be well aware of what they are doing. And that has to be studied very carefully.
In the question we are given 105 km/hr
One mile = 1.60934 km
105/1.60934 = 65.244.
Thus, 105 kilometer = 65.24 mile.
The correct option is D.
Explanation:
An earthworm is a terrestrial invertebrate that belongs to the phylum Annelida. They exhibit a tube-within-a-tube body plan, are externally segmented with corresponding internal segmentation, and usually have setae on all segments. They occur worldwide where soil, water, and temperature allow
Answer:
The growth rate of the U.S economy in 2011 was 5.65%
Explanation:
This is a simple calculation
We use this formula to calculate percent changes from one period to another:
% change = 
We have that the GDP for 2010 was $11,150 billion and the GDP in 2011 was $11,780 billions we then apply the formula:
% change = 
% change = 
This means that the growth rate of the U.S economy in 2011 was 5.65%
Solution :
Given :
James needs $ 1,000,000 after 15 years.
His IRA deposit is $ 200,000 and is earning at the rate of 8% per annum.
Maturity value of $200,000 after 15 years = 
= $ 634,434.
Balance fund needed after 15 years = 1,000,000 - 634,434
= $ 365,566
Therefore, the future value of the annuity is :
![FV=A[\frac{(1+k)^n-1}{k}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=FV%3DA%5B%5Cfrac%7B%281%2Bk%29%5En-1%7D%7Bk%7D%5D)
Here, FV = future annuity value = 365,566
A = periodical investment
k = interest rate = 8%
n = period = 15 years
∴![365566 = A\frac{[(1.08)^{15}-1]}{0.08}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=365566%20%3D%20A%5Cfrac%7B%5B%281.08%29%5E%7B15%7D-1%5D%7D%7B0.08%7D)
A = 13,464
Thus, James needs to save $ 13,464 each year end to reach his target.
